My voyage to Burning Man this year was epic. From the moment I left Vancouver on my motorcycle, and headed East into the BC interior, I felt transported 100% away from the daily routine that most of refer to as 'life'. With the wind in my face and the promise of new roads in my heart, I felt released....free!
Burning Man involves a LOT of burning. The largest most impressive structures are lovingly handcrafted and built almost entirely of wood, and on the last two nights of Burning Man, the 'man' and the incredible Temple (different and unique every year) are burned to the ground. On top of that many art installations in the desert are set ablaze on the last two night.
On top of that, there are pyrotechnics galore. Every year the fire experts try to top what they came up with the previous year, and there are a dazzling array of fire belching, computerized machines of all kinds here and there around Black Rock City and out in the desert (on the 'playa' as they say). Just down the street from the camp where I stayed, they let me handle an incredible kind of explosive propane fire throwing gun that was absolutely incredible! Pulling the trigger released a tremendous explosion of flame that mushroomed out like a special effect from a Bruce Willis movie! It was such a rush. I only wish I'd gotten some film of me firing it off.
Although I did take quite a few photos, Burning Man is primarily a participatory event, and walking around taking pictures turns you in to an observer, not a participant. So I frequently left my camera behind, and just got right into 'being there' and absorbing as much as possible. From a special effects viewpoint, I can't recommend Burning Man enough. If this kind of stuff sounds interesting to you, then GO! Buy your ticket and set your sights on being there next year, and I'LL SEE YOU THERE!!

By saving only a single instance of a file, single-instance storage (SIS) eliminates redundant or duplicate files on a storage system.
Comparison to deduplication
If you change the title of a two-megabyte Microsoft Word document, SIS retains the first copy of the Word document and stores the entire copy of the modified document. Any change to a file requires that the entire changed file be stored again. Data deduplication, which reduces subfile-level data, recognizes that only the title had changed and so only stores the new title, with pointers to the rest of the document's content segments.
Generally, EMC Data Domain systems enable two to four times data reduction on an initial full backup, six to seven times reduction on subsequent file-level incrementals, and 50 to 60 times reduction on subsequent full backups. SIS doesn't offer benefits to the initial full or to file-level incrementals so, at that level, EMC Data Domain deduplication is 80 to 90 percent more efficient—meaning that much less storage is required—than SIS.
It's an even bigger gap with structured data. Databases change daily and are generally backed up in full daily. SIS offers no benefit here, but Data Domain systems can reduce backup storage requirements by 10 to 30 times with this data.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in musical history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era across a range of genres.
After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback. Hendrix, as well as his friend Eric Clapton, popularized use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated sense of pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends, complex guitar playing, and use of legato. As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic phasing effects for rock recording.
Hendrix was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James, rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper, and the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Hendrix (who was then known as 'Maurice James') began dressing and wearing a moustache like Little Richard when he performed and recorded in his band from March 1, 1964 through to the spring of 1965. In 1966, Hendrix stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."

A special state task force charged with studying ferry and transportation problems on the Cape and Islands will hold a set of public hearings beginning next week in New Bedford, and continuing through the month of February on Nantucket, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard.
The April 15 report of the task force is expected to have far-reaching implications for ferry transportation in the region and also the way of life on the Islands.
The 11-member task force was appointed by Gov. Paul Cellucci late last year in an attempt to broker a compromise in the heated dispute over whether to open up ferry service between New Bedford and the two Islands.
The dispute escalated to a peak when New Bedford city officials became actively engaged in an attempt at a hostile takeover of the public boat line.
"One has the sense that New Bedford and the Islands were screaming at each other and it wasn't working very well," declared the Hon. Rudolph Kass, a Cambridge resident and retired state appeals court judge who is chairman of the task force. Judge Kass spoke briefly with the Gazette this week by telephone from his office in Boston.
The 11-member task force includes one member from each Island, one from the Cape, two from New Bedford, five ex-officio members from an array of state offices, and Mr. Kass.
Town officials in Tisbury have formally objected to the fact that the task force does not include a representative from the primary port town on the Vineyard.
"Vineyard Haven is the major port for the Steamship Authority. Tisbury is the community most affected by changes to the boat line's operation," the selectmen wrote in a letter to Governor Cellucci early this month. The selectmen also wrote: "It would be more than unfortunate if our town were not represented on the task force, it would be unacceptable. . . . We also feel that the task force will lack credibility if Tisbury is not a direct participant."
An organizational meeting of the task force was held last week. The first public hearing will be held on Thursday, Feb. 1 in New Bedford, followed by a hearing on Nantucket on Feb. 7 and a hearing in Hyannis on Feb. 15. The final public hearing will be held on the Vineyard on Feb. 22.
"This is not a polarized task force. There is an understanding that we are dealing with a complex problem," Mr. Kass said. "What we hope to do is come out with a report that makes some recommendations that will not be universally pleasing but will be aimed at bringing people the best sort of solution that we can," he added.
Judge Kass said the core mission of the task force is wrapped around fact-finding.
"We are a fact-finding board appointed by the executive branch," he said.
He appeared to recognize at least the superficial issues on both sides, taking note of the New Bedford arguments favoring more ferry service from their port, and also taking note of the decision last week by the SSA to step into the pitch and swing - and buy the passenger ferry Schamonchi in New Bedford.
"There are some obvious regional transportation benefits if you were coming from New York or Connecticut and had to go by New Bedford, that you might want to take a ferry from there rather than fight your way onto the bridge - and to some extent there has already been some progress made in that direction with the purchase of the Schamonchi by the SSA," Mr. Kass said.
But the retired jurist also gave a nod to the view from the Islands, where there is widespread concern about maintaining control over the public boat line that was created 40 years ago to provide dependable ferry service for year-round Island residents.
"You can't solve the problems or meet the aspirations of one area at the price of another," Judge Kass said. He concluded: "So there is a lot of fact finding to be done. There was a reason why in 1960 the old New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority was dissolved and replaced with the Woods Hole, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard Steamship Authority."
Judge Kass said freight transportation to the two Islands will be a key issue for study.
He said the role of the task force is not intended to supplant the role of the boat line board of governors, but in the same breath he bluntly acknowledged the political realities.
"The primary duty of the Steamship Authority governors is to act in the interests of the Steamship Authority, and one hopes that is not dissonant with the interests of the communities they serve," he said, "but it is also true that they are a creature of statute that the legislature could abolish tomorrow.
"And so the agitation of the legislature needs to be of interest to the Steamship Authority, and it needs to be of interest to the task force."
He said the public hearings are important.
"It's an important part of the process so people can be heard. I am not unaware that public hearings often can include a display of polarized emotions - but I hope that some will use it as an opportunity to present us with some reasoning and pertinent material," he said.
Judge Kass said the first hearing will be held in New Bedford, "in part because that is where the push to alter the status quo is coming from."
The public hearing begins at 7:30 p.m. on the third floor of the New Bedford Free Public Library.
Judge Kass said following the hearings, the task force will settle in for "discussion and writing." He said the committee may decide to enlist the participation of an outside transportation consultant if it decides it is needed. He said he expects to meet the April 15 deadline.
He dryly predicted that the report will not please all the parties in the dispute.
"The honeymoon will be over as soon as we issue our report," he said.

TIFF 19: Kristen Stewart, Natalie Portman, Mick Jagger, Eddie Redmayne titles added to film fest
The Toronto International Film Festival is adding more star power to the slate of its 44th annual celebration of cinema.
On Tuesday, organizers revealed a slew of new films including Roy Thomson Hall premieres for Mick Jagger's art thriller, The Burnt Orange Heresy, and Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne's balloon epic The Aeronauts.
Simple Plan scribe Scott Smith adapted Burnt Orange Heresy from Charles Willeford's book of the same name. In the film, which co-stars Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debicki and Donald Sutherland, Jagger plays a powerful art collector who engages a travelling couple in a painting heist. It marks the Rolling Stones frontman's first film role in over a decade.
Festival regular Natalie Portman will return to Toronto for Lucy in the Sky, a space drama that finds her playing an astronaut who finds herself losing her grip on reality after she returns to earth.
Palme d'Or-winning director Hirokazu Kore-eda's The Truth, which will open the Venice film fest and stars Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke, is also set to make its North American premiere in Toronto.
Elsewhere, Kristen Stewart toplines Benedict Andrews' biographical thriller Seberg and Netflix will unveil its adaptation of Kerry Washington's Broadway play American Son.
The Toronto Film Festival, which runs Sept. 5-15, will finalize its lineup on Aug. 20. For a full list of titles and ticket info, visit TIFF.net.

This is the first of six profiles on recipients of the 2013 Courage to Come Back Awards, presented by Coast Mental Health to six outstanding people who have overcome great obstacles only to give back to their communities. Their inspiring comebacks will be celebrated at a gala dinner at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre on April 25.
The transition from violent drug-addicted criminal to respected youth worker and native artist wasn't smooth or quick for Curtis Miller Joe.
After getting clean but before he got a criminal record pardon, he was virtually unemployable.
"It took me 14 years to get a job," said Joe, who overcame abuse as a child and a violent criminal past to win the 2013 Courage to Come Back Award in the social adversity category.
"I started taking courses [called] healthy relationships and alternatives to violence. I became a D and A [drug and alcohol] counsellor. I just kept taking what [courses] I could," he said in his East Vancouver apartment that doubles as a studio for his native beading and jewelry making and which he shares with a teen daughter.
Years ago, "I was [almost] hired by the Surrey school division," said Joe. "But then HR [Human Resources] said, 'This is the worst record we've ever seen.' They said they couldn't hire me. But they said, we applaud you for trying. Keep trying."
To make his life more challenging, Joe, 53, who's over six feet tall with muscular tatooed arms and a long knifing scar on his forehead, one of his 25 stab wounds, became an instant full-time dad in his mid-30s when his twin 11-year-old girls came to live with him.
"These girls raised me for six years," said Joe with an easy laugh. "I'm not kidding. I said to them, 'Do I have to feed you or do you feed yourselves? They said, 'No, you have to feed us.'"
He was fresh out of treatment for his heroin addiction, his fifth and final attempt, and had been living in a recovery house, "learning how to behave and how not to behave by watching people," he said.
"I realized I couldn't rob anyone anymore. It (recovery) kind of wrecked it for me."
He and the twins still needed to eat.
"I was on welfare and it was so humiliating and I was so broken," he said. "I went to the food bank, the Christmas bureau. I just stood in every line I could find."
Joe, whose native mother grew up in residential schools and whose father he met only once, had no template for family life.
He was taken into custody in 1968 by Children's Aid when he was seven years old after the house he was living in was raided for drugs and spent the next five years in a foster home with a "brutal" couple who lived on a farm.
He slept in a basement dugout, did nothing but farm chores, was regularly beaten and was denied meat if he didn't properly feed the animals.
"There's nothing good I could say about that time," he said without bitterness.
He first tried heroin at age 11 and ended up on the street at age 12, going in and out of group homes and schools, "getting high, sleeping wherever and surviving however I could."
He did break and enters to get money for hotel rooms and heroin, got involved with gangs and "lived a constant life of crime."
"Then it became more violent and there was a lot of fighting. It was so wild and so aggressive and I was so angry and pissed off and resentful."
The arrival of cocaine in the 1980s made Joe's life worse.
"Once I started doing that, I pretty much became an idiot, out of control. I lost all my morals."
He said among criminals normally there's an unwritten code, which included you don't rob your friends, for instance.
"When you start doing coke, that goes out the window," said Joe. "I just went haywire. I wasn't trustrworthy. Thank God I was so out there that I would get arrested. Rescued."
His epiphany came during his last jail term when he saw a 53-year-old among the 18 year olds, looking for drugs, and thought, "Wow, that could be me 20 years from now."
He got involved in jail with the Native Brotherhood fellowship, native carving, powwow dancing and sweat lodges.
He started going on the powwow trail, competing in dance competitions across the Prairies, a trip he still makes every summer, wearing outfits he designs and beads himself, and he taught dancing.
Waiting for his pardon, he took a course to become a life skills coach and became artist-in-residence at a Gastown gallery before he got work as a youth worker on a Saskatchewan reserve for a few years.
He's now got a permanent full-time job as the child and youth worker for the Delta school district, where he can identify and relate to troubled kids and act as mentor.
Principals and students praised his work in letters recommending him for the award, including how he worked at one Delta elementary school with a group of at-risk boys who were "extremely disengaged," showing signs of drug use and aggression.
With Joe's help, they became carving tutors for the school, a transformation that was so complete that visitors who came to the unveiling of the carving the boys helped with asked if the boys were part of a special leadership team.
"It is exciting to watch Mr. Miller instill pride and self-respect in these boys," wrote Chalmers elementary school principal Ken Levenstein.
Joe also has taken high school students on field trips to the Downtown Eastside, said Burnsview secondary school principal Carla Rizzardo.
She said the way Joe connects with students is impressive.
Burnsview Grade 12 student Hadeel Alameer, one of more than a dozen students who wrote reference letters, wrote that Joe is more than a teacher because he takes time to listen to students' problems and share his own experiences with them.

The High-End Smartphone Market's Saturated? Not for Apple.
If the lucrative high end of the smartphone market is nearing saturation, as some observers have recently argued, Apple isn't seeing it.
Reporting third-quarter earnings Tuesday after market close, Apple said it shipped 31.2 million iPhones during the period. And while that number was down from the 37.4 million the company shipped in the second quarter of this year, it was up significantly from the 26 million it shipped in the year-ago quarter.
Indeed, according to CFO Peter Oppenheimer, that 20 percent increase in iPhone sales from a year earlier beat Apple's internal expectations. And that's a metric that belies — to some extent — concerns about just how much room for growth remains in the smartphone market's higher end. Certainly, Apple seems to think that there's plenty left. Speaking on a conference call with analysts Tuesday afternoon, CEO Tim Cook dismissed the idea that the high-end smartphone market is nearing saturation.
"I don't subscribe to the common view that the higher end of the smartphone market has peaked," Cook said. "I don't believe that, but we'll see."
In the meantime, Apple will continue to focus on the high-end smartphone market, where Cook said there are still plenty of catalysts for growth — not just new products and services.
"We have all sorts of opportunities to increase distribution from carrier relationships to expanding our retail stores," Cook said. "We also have room for market expansion in enterprise. I think we're at the very front end of that, and so I think we have lots of growth opportunities."

Happy Fourth of July, peeps across the pond!
I've just spent the day on set (with no pie!) chaperoning my daughter as she was filmed and photographed from 70,000 different angles. She took instructions in English, Spanish and Italian. She didn't whine once that she was in autumn gear for 7 hours in the sweltering heat. She sucked it up, chugged water, and didn't falter. Even when the sweat was singeing her eyeballs. She chose this path; we've just supported her as best we can. She's taken rejections on the chin, asked for feedback, and she brings her game face to every audition, casting and shoot. Her work ethic today humbled me. She didn't get to eat until 2pm, and she didn't moan (I complained enough for the both of us!). Her face lit up when one of the crew got her an ice-cream cone, and her thanks were profuse. I sincerely hope she carries this attitude with her forever. No matter what she does, no matter what her position in life. Because today, I really felt it in my bones – we've done a good job. She's solid. She knows what 'work' means. She doesn't expect things to be easy because she's pretty or talented. I've had/still have reservations about letting her get involved with the industry because I don't want her internalising crazy messages or having a weird world view. I wonder if the mother of the Sousse shooter wonders where she went wrong?
I can't get away from the shootings. Not more than two football pitches from my house, the bodies of the British slain are being autopsied day and night, to be returned to their grieving families as soon as possible. There is round-the-clock security and flowers all along the pavement, including the wreaths from the caskets when they were repatriated to the UK. We passed there in the car home this evening, and in my head, I just picture the families waiting. Waiting to say goodbye properly. Wondering how a holiday could have gone so wrong? Wondering why they drew the short straw? I highly doubt the autopsy report can bring any comfort to families who had loved ones gunned down on a beach, on a sunny day.
As a city, London is creeping up to the tenth anniversary of 7/7. I was on the Tube in front of the bombed King's Cross train. I was evacuated and survived. My friend didn't. I remember her twin sister's nightmare journey to find and identify her remains. The total chaos, grief and shock. Returning to work on public transport was a show of defiance. The Sousse shooting and the impending 7/7 anniversary reminds me again that there are people who would harm me and mine, not for anything I believe or do, but for what THEY believe. It's a sad reality that someone could not know me, yet hate me, and my daughter, and the life we live, enough to kill themselves and others to make a point. What point? What is the point? What did my friend die for? What did the holiday-makers in Sousse die for?
Heavy thoughts, indeed, for a sunny weekend. My apologies. Eat some pie, cuddle your loved ones. Watch some fireworks. Tell people you love them. And let's think about how we can make this world a slightly better place.

Would you look at the following sentence?
#1 I wish I could drive a car then.
I found this in the exercise. I think #1 should be #2 because there is "then."
#2 I wish I could have driven a car then.
I'll be happy to know the answer.
Thank you.

Doctrine of the Last Things: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Jun 10, 2011 Category: ArticlesApart from the sacraments, there is probably no division of systematic theology that is the source of more controversy than eschatology (the doctrine of the last things). Among believing Christians, one finds amillennialists, postmillennialists, and premillennialists. Among premillennialists, there are disputes over the relationship between the "rapture" and the "great tribulation." Keep Reading

Charles Hodge: Guardian of American Orthodoxy
from Keith Mathison May 11, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsCharles Hodge stands as one of the most influential giants of American Reformed theology. In his fifty-five years at Princeton Theological Seminary (1822–1878), he taught over three thousand students. Through his magnum opus, his three-volume Systematic Theology, he has taught countless thousands more. Many of today's leading Reformed theologians count Hodge as one of their major influences. It is surprising therefore, that Paul Gutjahr's biography is the first modern critical biography of Hodge to appear in print. A work of this kind is long overdue. Keep Reading
Doctrine of Lord's Supper: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison May 06, 2011 Category: ArticlesThe Lord's Supper, the meal that unites, has ironically been the source of much division and controversy throughout church history. It was, in fact, the primary source of division among the sixteenth-century Reformers. Numerous books have been written on the doctrine and practice of the Lord's Supper. The following are some that I have found to be particularly helpful. Keep Reading
2011 Ligonier National Conference - Session 12 (Robert Godfrey)
from Keith Mathison Mar 26, 2011 Category: EventsThe conference continued today with a message by Ligonier teaching fellow Dr. Robert Godfrey on the topic "Pleasing God." Dr. Godfrey explained that when he saw his message title, his first though was "Can we please God?" He reminded us that Scripture says God is pleased with His people. It's amazing that as powerfully as Scripture speaks about the continuing sinfulness of even the regenerated, it also speaks about how God does delight in His people. How can both be true at the same time? Keep Reading

The Mystery of the Lord's Supper
from Keith Mathison Mar 23, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsRobert Bruce (1551-1631) is not a household name, even among knowledgeable Reformed Christians. He was at one time, however, one of the most important leaders in the Church of Scotland. He was the successor of John Knox and James Lawson and preached at the Great Kirk of St. Giles in Edinburgh. St. Giles holds a prominent place in Reformation history, being the site where Knox preached his first sermon on the Reformation. The Mystery of the Lord's Supper (Christian Heritage) contains five sermons preached by Bruce at St. Giles in February and March of the year 1589. Keep Reading
Doctrine of Baptism: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Mar 11, 2011 Category: ArticlesOne of the most contentious theological issues dividing believers from other believers is the doctrine of baptism. Is baptism by immersion only, or may a person be baptized by pouring or sprinkling as well? Are believers only to be baptized, or should believers and their children be baptized? Is baptism merely a symbol, or does it effectually cause any spiritual benefits? What are some helpful books for those seeking to understand the issues involved? This list is not exhaustive, but it does contain some texts that may be helpful for those interested in studying these issues in more detail. Keep Reading
The Symphony of Scripture
from Keith Mathison Feb 23, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsWhen I was at Dallas Theological Seminary and struggling with the issue of dispensationalism, I ran across a little book by Mark Strom entitled The Symphony of Scripture. As a dispensationalist, my understanding of the Bible had been predicated upon the divisions in Scripture. In fact the basic motto of the dispensationalist is:"rightly dividing the Word of truth." Unfortunately, the unity of Scripture was lost in the dispensational understanding of this biblical phrase. Keep Reading

UC Davis Children's Hospital "cool babies" program reaches a milestone
Posted Feb. 29, 2012
Owen Palmquist was a really cool baby — in fact he was the very first.
Palmquist, now 2 ½, shortly after his birth became the first infant treated at UC Davis Children's Hospital with a novel whole-body cooling program designed to reduce long-term neurological damage resulting from birth asphyxia.
Called "Cool Babies," the therapy instituted in June 2009 at the hospital now has reached a milestone — more than 50 infants have been treated with marked success, according to Ian Griffin, a neonatologist and the program's founder and director.
Birth asphyxia, also known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), occurs when the oxygen supply to the brain is diminished or cut off entirely. In infants, this often occurs because of an insult or other difficulty during labor and delivery.
Minimizing the effects of birth asphyxia
Griffin explained that the induced hypothermia therapy is designed to minimize the secondary effects of HIE by inhibiting injured brain cells from releasing harmful substances that can damage the healthy cells in the brain.
"There is a first phase of damage that results from the loss of oxygen to the brain," said Griffin, an associate professor of pediatrics. "But there is a second phase of damage that happens due to the release of amino acids and fatty acids by the injured cells that starts at between about six and 12 hours after the initial insult."
About UC Davis Children's Hospital
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, serving infants, children, adolescents and young adults with primary, subspecialty and critical care.
It includes the Central Valley's only pediatric emergency department and level I pediatric trauma center, which offers the highest level of care for critically ill children.
The 129-bed children's hospital includes the state-of-the-art 49-bed neonatal and 24-bed pediatric intensive care and pediatric cardiac intensive care units. With more than 120 physicians in 33 subspecialties, UC Davis Children's Hospital has more than 74,000 clinic and hospital visits and 13,000 emergency department visits each year.
For more information, visit the Web at children.ucdavis.edu.
Cooling the infants' bodies minimizes the damage from this second phase of injury, Griffin said, though the precise reason why the therapy is effective still is not known.
Caregivers at UC Davis begin to cool infants as quickly as possible after the injury by exposing them to air instead of swaddling them in blankets. Immediately thereafter the infants are placed on a mattress filled with circulating water that is cooled to approximately 92.3 degrees Fahrenheit, which reduces their body temperatures (normal body temperature is 98.6). The infants are cooled for 72 hours and then are gradually warmed to normal body temperature over six to eight hours.
"This therapy is the first thing that we've ever had that benefits these patients."
— Ian Griffin
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2005 and another published last year in the journal Pediatrics both found that the infant cooling therapy is safe and associated with a trend of reduced risk of death and disability.
Griffin noted that advanced neonatal care has allowed doctors to save the lives of infants born with brain injuries. But many of those infants would go on to experience mild-to-severe developmental delays. He said that it is hoped that induced hypothermia will result in fewer infants with devastating lifelong disabilities.
The procedure optimally is started in the first six to 14 hours of life. To be eligible for the therapy infants must be born at term — 36 weeks or later — and exhibit symptoms of distress, such as having an Apgar score below five, being in an altered state of consciousness, e.g., lethargic, and require mechanical ventilation.
Changing the course of neonatal care
Palmquist is such an infant, born at 41 weeks gestation with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy following prolonged labor, according to his father, Andrew Palmquist.
Born in Paradise, Calif., on July 19, 2009, Owen initially had no reflexes and no pupil dilation and abnormal brain waves immediately following his birth, his father said. The infant was transferred to UC Davis Children's Hospital where he was treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for two weeks.
"I was hopeful that we were being treated at UC Davis, but in the first few days the signs weren't so good. He had no visible signs of movement, he didn't have any reflexes, and they couldn't get his eyes to dilate for the first three days."
Today Owen's prognosis seems brighter, his father said. He has received speech and physical therapy and is developmentally about six months delayed when compared with other children his age. He attends preschool at California State University, Chico, where his mother is enrolled.
"In the past week or two he has started to speak in full sentences, where before it was just a word or two," Palmquist said. "We used to have to coach him quite a bit, but he is starting to use words on his own without prompting."
To be treated with cooling therapy, infants must have a gestational age of between 34 to 42 weeks — full term or older. Since its inception, UC Davis Children's Hospital has placed 54 babies on the cooling regimen, about 20 a year. The program has a 95 percent survival rate, Griffin said. A significant measure of the infants' recovery is that, at discharge, almost all of the babies have been sent home feeding normally, he said.
"This therapy is the first thing that we've ever had that benefits these patients," Griffin said. "Before all we could do was control their blood pressures and provide anti-seizure medication. This is the first thing that we have had that actually can change the course of the disease."

I am taking VB 6 this semester and because I got A's in all my OO C++ classes I have the option to study VB independently. This means I will not have to attend class, complete lab assignments or take examinations. This sounds pretty good to me BUT I will have to earn my grade in the course by:
- Developing a significant Visual Basic application
- Review the progress of the project five times during the semester with the Professor
My Professor must approve the scope of the project (I have to write a specification of what I am going to do) by next Monday.
I don't really know anything about VB and I am wondering if anyone with more experience could suggest some potential projects for me. I just really don't know what VB is capable of and could use some ideas to get started. Thanks gang.

Liverpool edge Swansea in 7 goal thriller
Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson scored two goals apiece as Liverpool registered...
Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) – Nathan Horton will make his long-awaited
Blue Jackets debut when Columbus takes on the Phoenix Coyotes later Thursday,
and two of his teammates will also return to the lineup.
Horton, along with goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and defenseman Dalton Prout,
were activated from injured reserve.
The Jackets made the biggest splash in the early stages of free agency back
in July, agreeing to terms with unrestricted free-agent Horton on a seven-year
Shortly after the signing, Horton had to undergo surgery his left shoulder,
which was injured during the Boston Bruins' unsuccessful Stanley Cup bid, a
procedure whose recovery time was 4-to-6 months.
Horton, who spent the last three seasons with the Bruins, posted 13 goals and
22 points in 43 regular-season games, then contributed 19 points (7G, 12A) in
22 playoff appearances this past season.
The 28-year-old Ontario native has collected 198 goals and 402 points in
591 games along with a plus-57 rating with the Panthers and Bruins.
Bobrovsky has been out since Dec. 4 with a strained groin. Prior to the
setback, the Russian backstop went 10-11-2 with a 2.72 goals-against average
and one shutout.
Prout has been sidelined the last six games with an upper-body injury.
To make room on the roster, Columbus assigned goaltender Mike McKenna, forward
Jonathan Marchessault and defenseman Tim Erixon to Springfield of the American
Hockey League.

Molecular Engineering of WMD (Weapons of Microbial Destruction)
Karl Griswold, Assistant Professor, Thayer School of Engineering
Friday, February 1, 2013, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series.
The discovery and development of antibiotics has proven one of the most impactful medical advances of the 20th century. Without a doubt, many aspects of modern medicine are predicated upon physicians' ability to effectively combat bacterial infections. On the other side of the equation, bacterial populations are frighteningly adept at responding to antibacterial chemotherapies, and microbial pathogens have demonstrated the capacity to subvert virtually every antibiotic in the clinician's toolbox. Today, drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacteria constitute widely recognized threats to public health, and the escalating frequency of drug-resistant infections is intensifying demand for next generation therapeutics. This talk will highlight our ongoing efforts to create performance-enhanced antibiotics through molecular engineering of antimicrobial proteins.
About the Speaker
Dr. Karl Griswold is an assistant professor of engineering at Dartmouth. His academic training includes studying as a DOW Foundation Scholar at Texas State University, where he graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in chemistry. After two years working for Thermo Electron Corporation and another two years at Huntsman Petrochemical Corporation, Griswold left the industrial sector to pursue graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He received his Ph.D. in 2005 and then completed an interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship at the UT Department of Chemical Engineering before joining the Thayer School faculty in 2007. His research is focused on biomolecular engineering and its application to the study and development of therapeutic agents. Professor Griswold is a project leader in both the Dartmouth Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence and the Dartmouth Lung Biology Center. He has active collaborations with the Dartmouth Computer Science Department, the Geisel School of Medicine, and the University of Vermont School of Medicine. In 2008, he received a Coulter Foundation Early Career Award, which funded the development of patent-pending antibacterial enzymes. Professor Griswold's work with his Thayer research team and other collaborators has been published in 14 peer-reviewed journal articles and four peer-reviewed conference papers.

It's no secret that living with your parents past the age of 18 is not exactly considered cool. Yet that is exactly what Sarah Chalke is doing on ABC's new comedy, How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life).
Premiering on Wednesday at 9:30/8:30c, the Scrubs alum plays Polly, a single mom who moves in with her mother (Elizabeth Perkins) and stepdad (Brad Garrett) to make ends meet. However, it doesn't take long for problems to arise, like when Polly invites an old crush-turned-doctor named "Hot Scott" over to a party at her parents' casa. "Scott always saw me as someone who was going to go on to do great things," Polly explains. Uh-oh! That sounds like someone is going to have the stretch the truth a little. Or, more likely, a lot.

So what is Polly's master plan to snag a one-way ticket to Scott's doctor castle? And will her parents be able to help her? Watch the clip below and weigh in:
How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life) premieres on Wednesday at 9:30/8:30c on ABC.

Men's Handmade Sheepskin Moccasins - Sand/Midnight
Our bestselling Moccasins...but for men!
Incredibly cosy, 100% handmade sheepskin moccasins, traditionally crafted in the Polish Mountains.
Designed by and exclusive to The Small Home.
Each pair of moccasins is lovingly and individually handmade using techniques that have been passed down through generations of a Polish family.
The suede soles are moulded by hand, then hand-stitched to soft sheepskin uppers and hand-embroidered using a wool/mohair yarn.
This means that each pair is totally unique and beautifully crafted, showing all the signs of the talented hands that made them.
Our Moccasins tend to come up a bit small – around half a size - therefore for those who are usually in-between two sizes, we would always advise sizing-up rather than sizing-down. (e.g. if you're usually a size 6.5, opt for a 7 in our Moccasins).
When you try on the Moccasins, the fit should initially feel comfortable, but snug, with toes just touching the end of the slipper.
Toes should not be curled under or feel uncomfortable in any way.
At first, the Moccasins (particularly the soles) will feel quite firm, however, within a few wears, the suede and sheepskin will soften and mould to your feet.
If you require any further advice on sizing or the fit of our Moccasins, just get in touch with us on firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll be happy to help.
Please do note that every pair of our Moccasin Slippers is made by hand, so this means that slight variations in sizing can sometimes occur.
100% Sheepskin
Care Instructions
Only to be worn indoors. Gently wipe clean.

½ pound unsalted margarine at room temperature
2½ cups granulated sugar
4 extra-large eggs at room temperature
⅓ cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons)
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup pareve milk, or soymilk at room temperature
1½ tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease, flour, and line the bottom of two 8½ X 4½ X 2½-inch loaf pans with parchment paper.
Cream the margarine and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time, and the lemon zest.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine ¼ cup lemon juice, the pareve milk, the vinegar, and vanilla. Add the flour and pareve milk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Combine ½ cup granulated sugar with ½ cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
When the cakes are done, let them cool for 10 minutes, then invert them onto a rack set over a tray, and spoon the lemon syrup over the cakes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the top of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

It has been a tough start for Division One bottom club Yeadon following their surprise JCT600 Bradford League promotion – but nothing that captain James Todd didn't expect.
Yeadon, who finished third in Division Two last season, were the extra team promoted when the clubs decided to expel Manningham Mills from the league.
"It was an unexpected promotion, but one we were ready to take on," said Todd, speaking after his side's match at East Bierley had been abandoned because of rain yesterday.
"We were late finding out, which doesn't help – it puts your preparation back – but we are still confident of our prospects in Division One, even if it's been a tough start."
Yeadon, without a win in their six matches, have 23 points, 13 behind third from the bottom Bierley, and Todd said: "I was looking forward to playing Bierley, but weather put a stop to that."
Now, he is preparing to visit fellow promoted team New Farnley tomorrow. "We are looking forward to that – we beat them there last year in Division Two," he said.
Yeadon strengthened their side by signing batsman Oliver Stephenson from Scarborough club Flixton, the same club as Yeadon stalwarts Damon Gormley and Ben Elvidge, played for, and Kiwi all-rounder Eliot Herd, who was 13th man for New Zealand in their recent match against India.
They have also signed opening bowler Saeed Muhammed from Aire Wharfe League club Woodhouse, who has ambitions to play county cricket, and former Yeadon junior wicket-keeper Jake Wray, who has played for the Combined Services.
Todd said: "I am happy with our team, but the results have not gone our way. It will take a lot for our heads to go down.
"We have tried to get promotion for two years and we will be fighting in every game. Whether bottom or top, we won't give anyone an easy ride.
"There are no whipping boys in this league - no teams you think are unbeatable. The league is open."

The twenty-six songs of this important and ground-breaking cycle (spelled Myrthen by the composer in the work's first edition, but known as Myrten to later generations of Germans, as well as in the Peters Edition) are full of secrets and allusions. An important part of their power is their inter-connectedness in terms of tonality:
Schumannians will always scan this list in admiration and wonder. This is something absolutely new in terms of a cycle. At first glance it is something of a ragbag, a patchwork quilt, but it is bound together by personal biographical allusions where every choice of poem represents an aspect of love which encompasses the legend-in-the-making that was Robert-and-Clara. This cycle casts them as a pair of star-crossed lovers who have come through their trials as successfully as a latter-day Tamino and Pamina. In so doing they join hands with others from all over the world who have endured hardships in similar and different ways. 'Hello young lovers, wherever you are' is how Rodgers and Hammerstein summed up such fellow-feeling. Myrten is a musical encyclopaedia of love around the world, an alpha-to-omega of love. Most of the songs were written in February of that year with the two book-end songs, the first and the last, composed a month or so later.
The poetry of Rückert lies at the Germanic heart of the work (the idea of duty and filial devotion encompassed by songs XI and XII) and Schumann chooses this famous poet of marital happiness to open and close his cycle. But the composer has consciously stretched out his arms to lovers from all countries and ages. Goethe's West-östlicher Divan represents Persia (Suleika makes an appearance which is as much a tribute to Schubert as to anyone else; that composer's music is also quoted in Widmung) and Heine's exotic lotus is a flowering from the far east: songs V - IX form an oriental corner of the work as if a magic carpet had been sent out from Leipzig to survey scenes worthy of Sheherazade.
The role played by Burns's lyrics is as a foil to the middle-class sophistication of Rückert. The Burns characters display a steadfastness of heart which beats in the sometimes wild breasts of highland soldiers and border bandits, but their music is associated with the goodness that comes from unvarnished simplicity, and their songs are distributed throughout the set like the humble straw that binds bricks and mortar. Although Mendelssohn had not himself set Burns to music at this stage the inclusion of a Scottish element to the cycle may owe much to Schumann's conversations with the older composer who had probably waxed lyrical about the beauties of Scotland.
Thanks to Byron's boon companion Thomas Moore we visit Italy (XVIII and XIX) for echoes of the footloose bachelordom that Robert would now willingly give up. In a parallel set of linked G major songs (XI and XII) we learn of what Clara must renounce in marrying him – close links with her family. The impassioned plea to a mother could also be addressed to her father, in this case it would have been in vain. Note that Byron and Moore are allowed to create a corner of the cycle of their own (Songs XV to XVIII) featuring lyrics by an upper-class Englishman and his Irish sidekick. Thanks to Byron's marvellous poem from his Hebrew Melodies one of the finest evocations of Jewish lyricism is included here further to broaden the cycle's multicultural references. Here Robert does not shrink from depicting his despair in the years leading up to the marriage, and the consolation he found in the discovery of his own genius as a minstrel of song. This is one of a number of self portraits in various moods that Schumann allows himself throughout the cycle.
And of course there are portraits of Clara. The first of these is the third song in Myrten, about the dreaming bride, Der Nussbaum, and long ago Eric Sams pointed out that this coincided with the third letter of the alphabet in a progress of twenty-six songs, itself an alphabet of sorts. If Schumann, obsessed with codes and ciphers, ever developed this idea with any consistency we will never know; if so it might have been explained to Clara who never mentioned it or wrote it down. (She passed on to posterity almost nothing regarding the songs.) But there are tantalising clues: C = Clara in III is the first. Then Sitz ich allein seems to paint the character of one of Schumann's alter egos, the dreamer 'Eusebius' (E = song V), followed by the more temperamental Setze mir nicht du Grobian ('Florestan' – F = song VI). Can it be pure coincidence that the two pieces in Schumann's Carnaval that depict 'Eusebius' and 'Florestan' (with those names as their titles) should also be numbers V and VI of a piano work which had originally been planned to contain twenty-six numbers?
The figure of the Lotosblume occurs in Mendelssohn's famous Auf Flügeln des Gesanges; thus song VII representing the figure G may represent the word 'Gesang' or even something as exotic as the river 'Ganges' also mentioned in the celebrated Mendelssohn song. The letter H (song VIII) could refer to the German word by which God is addressed – 'Herr'. The two linked Lieder der Braut are also specifically about Clara, they occupy the letters K and L in the sequence where KLara was a common alternative spelling for her name. Mendelssohn was well known to have adored the Highlands; is song XIII (= letter M) a reference to him? And so the speculation goes on. Did Robert regard Wenn durch die Piazzetta (song XVIII = R) as an autobiographical reference to his role as the person who was going to elope with Clara, spiriting her away, like the Venetian Ninetta, to an idyllic life.
Everyone will have their own ideas in this game but one observation seems worthy of more serious consideration. The greatest player in the drama of the marriage, apart from Robert and Clara themselves, was Friedrich Wieck. If he was to feature in this cavalcade it would have to be in a fashion tactful enough for Clara who was still devoted to him, though full of sorrow about his behaviour. Niemand has always been thought of as a fanfare of Schumann's own independence, but there is an air of misanthropy behind the declaration of the man who says that if nobody cares for him, he will care for nobody. It seems just possible that Niemand represents a humorous appearance of 'Vater' (father) – the word that both Robert and Clara used in addressing Wieck (song XXII = V). The self-important bustle of this song might have been designed to tease a smile from the bride-to-be's lips. The letter W coincides with the title Im Westen (song XXIII) and X is a common symbol for a mystery figure, in this case the person who dominates the entire cycle. Song XXIV is most certainly a Clara song, and it is as gentle as a kiss. The title Zum Schluss is made to line up with the last letter of the alphabet (XXVI = Z). If Sams's reading of the work's alphabetical mirror is correct, and if the composer played the game to the letter, there are many more discoveries to be made.
In terms of tonality the cycle owes more to Beethoven's example in An die ferne Geliebte than to either of the Schubert cycles. The Beethoven is a collection of interconnected songs played without interruption, and Myrten, no matter how many times it has been excerpted on the concert platform, is also meant to be presented as an entity. The work is arranged as a kaleidoscope where colours are meant to be seen (and heard) one after the other without long intervening gaps. The songs are self-contained (despite the connected nature of XI/XII and XVII/XVIII) and yet flow with an inevitability which has been a lesson to every programme planner of recitals ever since. In this royal progress from A flat major back to A flat major – encompassing a grand rainbow of different tonal colours – almost every song has a strong, though not always obvious, tonal relationship with its predecessor. This is clear from the chart above. On the one occasion when Schumann wishes to make a complete break for a new and very serious mood (before XV: Aus den hebräischen Gesängen) we find the deliberately looser connection between D major of XIV and the E minor of that impassioned plaint; this is the exception which proves the rule. It goes without saying that from the point of view of the key relationships, a performance of this cycle with tenor and soprano in original keys is preferable to one between baritone and soprano involving inevitable transpositions.

Ohio Democrats are calling on the president of the state Board of Education to resign after she compared President Barack Obama with Adolf Hitler on her Facebook page.
State Board of Education President Debe Terhar (R-Green Township) denied she was comparing Obama to the Nazi dictator and removed her Facebook page after she shared a Hitler reference posted by another group over the weekend. Groups opposed to Obama's gun control proposals have been comparing the president with Hitler.
Terhar, a Cincinnati Republican elected last week by the 19-member school board to a second term as its president, recently posted the picture with this commentary: "Never forget what this tyrant said: 'To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.' -- Adolf Hitler."
The photograph apparently originated with the Facebook page of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, which features a variety of anti-Obama, pro-gun posts and photos, such as scantily clad women hoisting large guns, a polar bear with the words "Holy f*** I'm glad I'm white," and another saying "Where's Lee Harvey Oswalt when you need him?"
Terhar told the Dispatch that she was not suggesting that Obama was Hitler. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Terhar sought to clarify the statement. Terhar removed her Facebook page following the explanation, according to Cincinnati.com. Ohio Democrats have distributed a screen shot of the explanation.
In her explanation, Terhar said that she was reposting someone else's comment and did not share her own thoughts. She said that she would stop sharing thoughts on the social media site.
"I received a photo that had a quote attributed to a tyrant," Terhar wrote. "The quote referred to gun control. I did not research to check that the quote was accurate. Not sure everyone does. I also made no comment on the repost."
Terhar, a former Montessori teacher, was elected to a four-year term in 2010 representing a Cincinnati area district. She was elected earlier this month to a one-year term as board president. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern has called on her to step down from the post.
"While there is always room for respectful differences in opinions, State School Board President Terhar's Facebook posting crossed a clear line by connecting the President's national discussion on guns to Adolf Hitler," Redfern said in a statement. "President Terhar's invocation of Hitler is dangerous and should not be tolerated by Governor Kasich and the rest of the State School Board.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this post incorrectly listed Terhar's name as Dede instead of Debe. We regret the error.

NEW YORK - Hormone-targeted therapy for prostate cancer may raise the risk of potentially dangerous blood clots, a large US study suggests.
Analyzing data on more than 154,000 older men with prostate cancer, researchers found that those who received hormonal therapy had double the rate of blood clots in the veins, arteries or lungs compared to men not on the treatment.
Of the 58,000-plus men taking hormonal therapy, 15 per cent developed a blood clot over roughly four years, versus seven per cent of men who did not receive get the therapy.
A clot in the blood vessels can prove fatal if it breaks loose and travels to the lungs, heart or brain.
In this study, men who developed blood clots ended up in the hospital about one-quarter of the time, the researchers report in the journal Cancer.
"By no means is this a trivial risk," said lead author Dr. Behfar Ehdaie, of Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
For men weighing their options for prostate cancer treatment, Ehdaie said the risk of blood clots -- and other side effects -- needs to be balanced against the benefits.
Other potential side effects of hormonal therapy include weight gain, bone thinning, hot flashes and erectile dysfunction.
And for many prostate cancer patients, experts say, the benefits of hormonal therapy are not clear.
The approach is based on the fact that testosterone can fuel the growth of prostate cancer. Curbing a man's production of the hormone -- by surgical removal of the testicles or, far more often, medication -- can be helpful.
But hormonal therapy was originally given only to men with advanced prostate cancer that had spread to other sites in the body. For them, the treatment offers symptom relief that generally outweighs the risks of side effects, said Dr. Vahakn B. Shahinian, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Hormone therapy can also improve survival when given along with radiation therapy to men with "high-risk" prostate cancer that is likely to progress. (Many prostate tumors are slow-growing and may actually never advance to the point of threatening a man's life.)
"Those are the two scenarios where there is clear-cut evidence of a benefit," said Shahinian, who wrote an editorial published with the study. "The issue comes when you look at the host of other scenarios where hormone therapy is used."
In the past couple decades, some doctors started giving hormonal therapy as a first-line therapy to men newly diagnosed with tumors that were still confined to the prostate. That's despite the fact that the benefits for those patients are not established.
In some cases, men may be in poor health, and aggressive treatment with radiation might not be wise. But the doctor and patient may feel the need to "do something," Shahinian said. So hormonal therapy is the choice.
There's also evidence that financial motives have played a part, Ehdaie noted.
By 1999, hormonal therapy was given to about half of prostate cancer patients. But studies have found that after more recent cuts in Medicare reimbursement for the therapy, fewer doctors are using it.
The bottom line, both Ehdaie and Shahinian said, is that men should thoroughly discuss the risks and benefits of different prostate cancer treatments with their doctor.
As for why hormonal therapy would promote blood clots, the mechanisms are uncertain.
In fact, the current findings do not prove that the therapy itself is the direct cause of men's blood clots. Ehdaie's team tried to account for other factors that could explain the link; and they did find that men on hormonal therapy tended to be older and in poorer overall health.
But even with those differences considered, men on hormonal therapy had a 56 per cent greater chance of developing a blood clot. And the clot risk generally climbed the longer a man was on the treatment.
"We can't infer causality, but it is a strong association," Ehdaie said.
It's possible, he noted, that hormonal therapy raises the risk of clots because of its negative effects on metabolism, which can include boosting a man's fat mass.
"I think the take-away message is that this reinforces the fact that hormonal therapy has potential risks, and men should be informed," Shahinian said.
Shahinian is a paid consultant to Amgen, which is seeking approval for its bone cancer drug, Xgeva, to treat certain men with advanced prostate cancer.
For many men with prostate cancer, having no immediate treatment at all is an option.
According to the National Cancer Institute, about half of the more than 190,000 US men diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009 fell into the "low-risk" category -- meaning their cancer had low odds of progression.
They are among the men who can choose to forgo treatment and instead have their cancer monitored -- what doctors call "active surveillance."
Such watchful waiting can be stressful, Shahinian noted. But men should be aware that "doing something" comes with potential risks, he said.

China is the world's largest potato producer, accounting for 22% of the global production. With increased potato production and domestic consumption, together with a gradual transition towards a market economy, China has significantly expanded its trade of potatoes and potato products in the past two decades.
Guyuan region in Hebei Province, central China, is dubbed as China's No. 1 potato production base and is characterized by arid climate and little access to traffic. 89% percent of its 1.5 million residents are farmers out of which some 116,000 are living in absolute poverty.
Potato is planted here on 0.1 million ha with an output of 2 million tons. Guyuan presently has more than 2,000 potato processing companies, a number of wholesale markets and a potato shipping association to ensure timely delivery of fresh potatoes to 17 provinces, including Hong Kong and Macao as well as Taiwan and some European countries. By 2010, the Guyuan aims to increase its potato acreage and output to 0.2 million hectares and 4.5 million tons, respectively.
In 2008, 60% of China's farmlands are arid and farmers will earn a higher profit from growing potatoes than from wheat, corn, paddy rice and beans, according to Mr. Qu Dongyu, Director of the China Potato Committee.
Therefore, new innovative sustainable technologies are needed not only for raising and sustaining the potato productivity per hectare but also for producing quality tubers using scarce and expensive resources such as water and fertilizer in order to meet both domestic demand (consumption per capita 32 kg) and processing industry needs and to be more competitive in the market.
Food and agro-industrial crop
Water scarcity
Inefficient use of water
Sandy loam soils
Leaching of nutrients
Low water and fertilizer use efficiency
Low tuber yields with lower quality
Why drip is needed?
The economic importance of potato in meeting food security and agro-industry demand. To conserve water, increase water and fertilizer use efficiency and optimize tuber yields.

Training and capacity building: Soil water plant relationships, drip irrigation and fertigation principles, benefits, limitations and utility; water quality and herbicide usage.
Improved tuber yield: Conventional centre pivot sprinkler irrigation – 42.0 tons/ha and with subsurface drip yield has increased by 16% (48.6 tons/ha).
Improved tuber quality: Reduction in sucrose and dextrose content by 45.8% and 136% in comparison to centre pivot sprinkler irrigation. Tuber composition favored by chips potato processing units.
Water requirement and saving: Conventional centre pivot sprinkler irrigation – 2400 m3/ha and with subsurface drip – 145 m3/ha. The water saving by using drip over centre pivot sprinkler is 40% or 950 m3/year/ha. As an illustration, the saved water can irrigate 0.65 ha.
Economic indices: Higher net returns by subsurface drip (918 US$/ha) in comparison to centre pivot sprinkler irrigation.
Additional benefits: Uniform tuber size and higher proportion of A-grade tubers, improvement in fertilizer use efficiency, management flexibility, less weed growth, and uniform irrigation of potato on undulated terrains.
Drip irrigation of potato in China is a feasible eco-technological and economically viable technology.
Use of scarce water resources, in a sustainable way, in potato cultivation to spread over a larger area.
Higher productivity, quality tubers, food security and increased income to farmers.
Farmers and processing units are willing to expand the drip irrigation to the remaining potato areas.
Potato best management practices: Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) and fertigation scheduling.

DOVER — Due to the nature and timing of the impending nor'easter bearing down on the Seacoast all COAST bus service has been canceled for Friday, Feb. 8.
"We feel this is the most prudent decision we could make based on the latest information we have available to us," said Rad Nichols, COAST executive director. Nichols continued, "While we understand conditions earlier in the day may start out calmer, the predicted rapid deterioration of conditions in the afternoon mean that our operating day would be coming to a close during blizzardlike conditions, at which point our employees would still need to get home safely once they park their bus."
COAST is advising passengers to be prepared for a delayed start to the service day, delays once on the road, an early curtailment or even a service cancellation on Saturday as well. Staff will be closely monitoring the weather forecasts and will make announcements regarding Saturday service as soon as reasonable.
Once COAST is once again able to resume service, as typical under the predicted conditions, we may experience some delays. , "Please be patient as we do everything we can to get you safely to your destination. If you need to travel after the storm, please be safe on your way to and from bus stops. Do not wait for the bus on top of snow banks! Find the nearest driveway opening and make sure you are visible to the bus operator," Nichols said.
COAST recommends wearing bright clothing, having reflectors and carrying a flashlight.
If passengers need call in for an update on a bus status, COAST requests that they listen to the entire phone message instead of just dialing into the dispatcher. The dispatchers will likely be very busy trying to manage the challenges of running a bus service in the midst of a cleanup after the storm.
For updated information on COAST services tune in to area radio and television news outlets. COAST will also be using its website at www.coastbus.org, Facebook page at www.facebook.com/COASTbus and twitter account @COASTbus to provide additional updates.
